How do we get sex workers to use bitcoin?

[Cass LeChat]

I mean, it makes sense right? Lots of transactions, they can teach their clients. I started a resource here as a good step.

But what are some other ways?

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I haven't clicked on your link for fear of clicking on links, but here's a suggestion:  Next time you use one of your local sex workers for sex, why don't you mention bitcoin to them and tell them how convenient it is.  But be sure to explain the transaction times and the upcoming hard fork just so they're well-informed about potential problems they might have.  You might want to suggest the Mycelium wallet or something for androids and that breadwallet for IOS.  I'm sure it'll be a hit with him/her.

But it's going to be tough trying to stuff some satoshis into a strippers g-string.

You hire a pro for sex not to learn about bitcoin.

You may have an idea for a new coin here: Pimpcoin  

But it's going to be tough trying to stuff some satoshis into a strippers g-string.

I seen a story once about a stripper who got a bitcoin QR tattoo on her back as a new way for payment.

Don't forget to explain all about how mining POW works like lottery tickets, how full nodes work, how the public ledger dubbed the blockchain records all of this ever since the genesis block, and how cryptography works with one way math problems etc..

It should be no problem as long as she (or he/it?) is still on the clock..

I think its more harder to make people pay with bitcoin. If u have people that will pay with btc then it's easy later to cash out.
Sex workers are like any other worker, they wish to earn money. If u show them how can they do their job without paying taxes and to avoid some other fees for sure they will consider using btc as payment method.

Why don't you try this...

wait until you are done and then tell her you want to pay her in virtual electronic currency which was invented by someone who wants to remain anonymous. Tell her she can create an electronic wallet online and you'll electronically transfer your virtual bitcoins into her account but she should wait for a few confirmations and that could take 10 minutes. After waiting for the confirmations, she can convert the money into dollars by going to an online exchange, moving money into it, providing some documentation and then waiting a week or maybe two. Tell her that the fee for converting her money to dollars isn't a big deal. She will need to give them her bank account information.

Hearing all that, she will likely call her pimp.

Then you have a chance to educate a second person about bitcoin!

If you are lucky, you will end up in the hospital with moderate to severe injuries. There you have the chance to educate even more people on bitcoin, the trauma nurse and the police. Explain the virtues of pseudo-anonymous transactions and how the dollar will be worthless in the future because of the Fed.

LOL, yeah well tipping ain't what it used to be anyways. People don't tip much, no manners.

How unfortunate as I relish the opportunity to talk about sex workers and "loser men", just as you apparently do

"Nah, dude. No amount of money laid at my feet combats the amount of violence and harassment hot women get from loser men. Like I started wearing sunglasses and headphones every day so that I could get shit done while these dudes are so confused about their dicks. "

This type of threads is a clear sign of the current decadency of this forum. I have always thought that when someone does not have a good idea to share, it is better to remain silent with dignity.

Bitcoin is NOT anonymous and all payment histories are stored on the blockchain! So you can still track back the date of the interaction! This might not be something everyone likes...

[European Central Bank]

I thought sex workers were pretty far along with bitcoin already. Aren't a ton of them using it on backpage? By looks of things normal banking's gonna get more uptight about dealing with industries like that so it's something they'll find naturally anyway.

[BTCBinary]

They are already using it!
If you look throughout the forum you will find some add for sex sites and call girls who accept bitcoin.

You just need to look!

Now, How to attract them is a lot different But I guess they wouldn't mind accepting bitcoin if they had a BTC ATM in a near location.

It's already kinda happening -- in fact, I vaguely recall that there is an altcoin called Titcoin, but don't quote me on that. She may still insist on being paid in cash, but at least it's something she might tell her pimp about.

This made my day, thanks. You should consider a career in comedy my friend. I visualized that scenario in my head and I think it was hilarious. If OP wants to ignore you for that, he will miss out on a lot of fun with you on this forum.

If you want to implement this, you could introduce a escrow service. The payment will only be done after the service was completed. You do not want a situation where a pimp or a robber bust into the room, whilst you have your pants on your ankles and demand that you transfer all your coins to their wallet.

To keep you safe, you transfer the coins before the service is done to a escrow and leave your phone and other valuables in the car. How does that sound?

Now who wants to be the escrow service, when a John wants to withhold payment for a poor service.  ^smile^

If you want to teach other, just take an education for them, because after sex, they will gonna sleep and forget about what bitcoin is. LoL

Yeah, In backpage site you can use sex workers with bitcoin.

Show them BED, the Bitcoin Escort Directory. It's free to list on there, they just need to provide their details.

If they take the time to figure out Bitcoin, it becomes a more secure option than cash. Special rates for clients who pay in Bitcoin (ideally through anonymizing services / altcoin conversions) are the next step.

[btckold24]

lol I always see those sites advertised of girls online and they say they are taking bitcoin.

I am pretty sure there is more important people we need to adopt bitcoin than hoes and
strippers....

[talkbitcoin]

there needs to be websites like live cam shows that has officially started using bitcoin at first so these workers can start using those services and advertise it through them.
